one day after approximately 11k miles of use, the sterring began to bind. Sticking mainly to the center, at first it wasn't very drastic. A little extra effort & you were able to mussel through it. The more you drive it ghe worse it gets. It got to an unmanageable point with the lane assit on, as the car fights itself. this started approximately 3 & half weeks ago. Its getting worse. Had an appointment at tge dealer 2 weeks ago, yesterday there was a release date for my steering rack of January 1, mabye. It gets worse w speed.

While driving the 2022 Civic sport there is a noticeable stickiness to the steering almost as if the wheel will look up while trying to drive straight and pull the car to different sides of the road. It originally was while driving straight mainly highway miles. Now it’s becoming noticeable during day to day driving and turning. This is very unsafe considering the car can turn and steering wheel will not allow the driver to automatically correct because it is locked up. Around 5000 miles the steering wheel will begin having a loose change noise when turning to the left behind the horn, around 10,000 miles the steering wheel will begin locking up and not allowing the driver to correct it and will pull the car to different sides of the road. If you go to the dealership everyone pretends like it’s unreal but check any forum and 1000s of people are experiencing these problems with 2022 Civics

Starting around 38k miles the steering will get stuck in the middle position causing me to use extra force to free the wheel. This causes an over compensation and swerving. It’s especially worse at higher speeds than 40 mph. I feel this could cause an accident. It happens with lane keep assist on or off. I have not seen any fault lights on the dash and have not taken to a dealer or mechanic yet, but I will soon.

While driving, the steering wheel will stick and require extra effort to turn the wheel. While not currently life-threatening, this has all the potential to become fatal. There has been some reproductions at service centers, but my vehicle has not been inspected yet, and there are no warning lights or prompts.

30+ mph steering becomes sticky / notchy that requires over-correction to fix, making it uncomfortable and dangerous to drive, particularly on the interstate. When using Lane Keep Assist, it pulls to one side or the other, crossing the line, and then autocorrects when the lane departure warning is activated, only to repeat this process consistently. There are no error codes on the car and local dealerships have not yet heard of a solution. There are currently no recalls or official statements from Honda regarding this issue.

When driving at normal and highway speeds with or without Lane Keep Assist activated steering rack gets stuck in position. When trying to maintain lane the steering wheel will lock and to release you must steer turn the wheel past this point of resistance. When this happens the car may end up leaving the roadway or entering another lane of traffic. The car has 53,000 miles and the warranty for this part is out however this is a known problem surfacing in forums with cars under 5000 miles. I feel this should be a recall due to the steering not functioning safely. This problem is getting worse over time and just started a couple weeks ago.

Since I've owned the car, when driving above 40 mph(when LKAS may engage), with LKAS off, the steering becomes statically neutral...i.e in a turn the steering wheel will remain in the turned position when pressure on the wheel is reduced. In this case the steering wheel( as well as the front wheels themselves) should straighten out as you continue to move. This is dangerous. Also, at highway speeds, in order to maintain the center of your lane small inputs to the steering wheel are normally required. In this vehicle, there is resistance to these small inputs. When the force of your input finally overcomes the resistance in the steering wheel the wheel turns more dramatically than intended(overcorrection). This is also dangerous. This also occurs with LKAS off. It's almost like LKAS engages the steering column preemptively above 40 mph but in a dangerous manner.

The electrical system does not read my phone , my phone is an iOS device. The lane departure is not accurate and it needs to be calibrated.

The lane keep assist of the car is supposed to keep the car centered when enabled. It does this job well most of the time however a few times, the car keep wanting to hug the right lane line to the point where lane departure alert starts beeping. In summary the car thinks the center is closer towards the right lane line to the point where lane departure alert warning comes on. As the driver you have to actively hold the steering to keep it centered since the system will keep fighting you to gravitate towards the right lane line. This issue occurred twice as of this date with no specific pattern observed that might trigger it. The abnormal behavior is observed when the system is engaged for a while in its normal operation. This can pose a safety issue if the car suddenly drifts to the right rather keep it centered in the lane since it occurs without warning. No warning lights or alerts come in the car when this abnormal behavior occurs. However the dashboard (sport touring digital cluster) visualization also shows the car deviating towards the right lane line during this behavior indicating the car's camera also sees this abnormal behavior but the lane keeping logic somehow is issuing the wrong control commands. Plan to show it to a dealer soon.

I have just over 600 miles and haven’t had an issue before today but today the Lane Centering/Keeping feature began pulling me sharply to the right side of the lane and crossed it, causing the vehicle’s lane departure warning system to shake the steering wheel. I have driven this road with this car before. This did not happen.

Steering pulls to the side making it very hard to steer. Will stay in lane when going straight but makes your arms sore trying to steer it. Does not happen at all speeds usually above 30mph. Duplicated by dealer. Unable To fix the problem due to steering rack in back order for over 6 months and counting. Will not drive the car as it is my daughters and is unsafe for her. No codes showing at the dealer.

I’ve had my car for three four months and today Some light turned on in the car saying my brake system is failing Lane collision High lights failings Auto cruise failing

in a few different events I have had my 2022 civic but emergency brake with no object in front of me and pull me out of the lane instead of steering me in lane. I have provided Honda with video and picture evidence and they can't seem to do anything to fix it and I can no longer comfortable use those features and feel safe driving the vehicle.

When I was driving on the George Washington Memorial Parkway I came across a part of the parkway that was under work by construction. As the lane begun to end i moved into the next lane as guided by the construction barrels, but the lane keep assist function would not allow me to steer onto the part of the road that I wanted to, and actually jerked me back onto the side of the road that had the barrels, causing my side mirror to collide with the barrels and the back cover came off and the mirror isn't adjustable through use of the adjustable mirror button in the car anymore.

My wife purchased a new 2022 Honda civic sport, it has lane control assist and at high speed it wonders, pulls side to side, follows lanes color change, pulls into a curve and pulls when going by big trucks into the truck. I have to hold the steering very tight and it has made my arms hurt from the straining. I went to Honda 4 time before anyone admitted it has a serious problem. Hammer Honda in Reseda Ca, verified the problems. The book clear states the lane change assist may or may not work, Honda denies anything is wrong. This is a safety issue and we have had 4 near crash events. I am a Certified Trained Alignment Technician and know cars well, I have 43 years of hands on experience, this car is unsafe and no one at Honda is disclosing this safety issue with this 2022 Honda Civic Sports. The expert at Honda on the 4th visit Witnessed and Verified the Lane Change Assists not working properly at 50 mph.
